I've really enjoyed Anders Hejlsberg presentation at BUILD 2011 and it's not the first time that I notice someone having a collection of code snippets available within Visual Studio's Toolbox window, so given that all the searches I've performed so far pointed me to how to deal with IntelliSense snippets, I was wondering if anyone knows how to achieve this?

You can import a snippet to your Visual Studio installation by using the Code Snippets Manager. Open it by choosing Tools > Code Snippets Manager. Click the Import button. Go to the location where you saved the code snippet in the previous procedure, select it, and click Open.
There are two ways to add a snippet: Type the # symbol into the text editor. Start typing the snippet shortcut, then select the snippet from the dropdown menu. The snippet will automatically populate in the text editor.
Depending on your plaform, your user snippets file is located here: Windows %APPDATA%\Code\User\snippets\(language). json.
You can insert this snippet by clicking Insert Snippet in the right-click menu (context menu) of the code window, then Visual C#, then type tryf , and then press Tab. Or, you can type tryf and press Tab twice.
Simply open the tool window or press CMD + ALT + C (⌘⌥C) on Mac or & CTRL + ALT + C on Windows to open the code snippets search.
You just need to copy the code to the toolbox. A simple selection of the code, and a drag and drop to the toolbox just make it available. It will not be deleted until you delete it (at least that never happens to me by itself)..
This is what you need?
